Did you know, How to respond to a "Thank you"?

 

Why should you respond to a thank you

While we are all brought up being taught to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you', in today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected and often flexible working world, it’s probably not said enough. 

As far as positive psychology goes, gratitude is strongly linked to personal wellbeing and happiness. Being thankful is shown to make us more positive, more resilient and improve our relationships too. People who regularly take time to notice and note the things they’re thankful for, experience more positive emotions, sleep better, and express more compassion and kindness toward others. That’s great for business and for us as individuals! Grateful people tend to have lower blood pressure, improved immunity, healthier hearts and better mental health. By focussing on the positives each day, our outlook on life, work and our problems generally start to improve.


Are you responding to Thank you?

If yes, are you responding incorrect manner?

It is the basic etiquette to respond to someone who is saying a “ THANK YOU” & appreciating for what you have done & how you have helped them, however, it is rather more important to know how to do it so that the person feels respected & even more valued.



“No problem”, or “ no worries”, may imply that your gesture of appreciation requires an apology for bothering you. Some might assess the phrase as careless careless use of two negative words.❌


So always acknowledge the Thank you & reply with some of these classic & simple ways: “you are very welcome” or “it’s my pleasure” or “was a pleasure doing it” or “anytime or “I am happy to help”, etc, with the sincerity, warmth & pleasant tone. ✅
